Prominent Afrobeats musician, **Burna Boy**, has hinted that the Recording Academy's creation of the new **Grammy** "Best African Music Performance" category is directly attributed to him. The accomplished African music artist expressed a sense of responsibility for the addition of this significant **African** Music category. This revelation came to light during a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times.
While Burna Boy acknowledges his influence, he also raises questions about the prestige and significance of the newly established category within the realm of the Recording **Academy** Awards. He ponders whether this category might be perceived as a consolation or if it will garner a level of prestige similar to the other established Grammy categories.
Burna said …
“I do feel somewhat responsible for the new ‘Best African Music Performance’ category, which is nice. At the same time, what is it really? Is it a consolation category? Will it hold as much prestige? I’m waiting to see.”
